About the Producer

Hailing from the vast wilds of New Jersey, Katie has always possessed a keen interest in the natural world. That fascination followed her to Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Geology at James Madison University. Katie took advantage of the beautiful mountain setting to hone an interest in caving and cycling and in addition developed a desire to share her connection to the natural world. This zeal for seeing a story in everything led her to Bozeman, where she is currently pursuing her MFA in Science and Natural History Film at Montana State University. Since than, her films have been featured in festivals and hosted in museums. Katie believes through laughter and creativity she may inspire others to keep learning, and in turn, to fully appreciate the world around them.
